Bondi Beach Australia is located along the shores of Sydney, Australia. One of the more famous and popular beaches in Australia, Bondi offers an array of fun activities, suitable for every budget and every age. From
the ancient days of Aboriginal fishing, people have been flocking to Bondi Beach Australia for its warm waters and clean, sandy beaches. Transportation the beach is convenient and frequent, and tourists will find
this to be an excellent beach in Australia.
Bondi Beach is a great beach in Australia to bring a family, or relax as an adult. Surf schools in the area offer lessons, as well as equipment rental, and
beginners are always welcome. Bondi Beach Australia is also one of the best places for scuba diving. The
Bondi Wall is part of a series of steep cliff walls, which run along one of the best spots for scuba
diving in Australia, and one of the best beaches in Australia. Check with local scuba shops and scuba schools for specific directions to Bondi Wall, as well as tide information.

While Bondi Beach is most lively during the summer, the town of Bondi Beach can be quite fun year round. In addition to having one of the nicest beaches in Australia, the town of Bondi has a lot to offer. The Bondi
Beach Market is held every Sunday, year round, at the town's public school grounds. This is a great place to pick up some local art, food, or clothing. Another nice local market is the Bondi Junction Market, also
open on Sundays, and located in the Bondi Mall. There are a number of small boutiques and shops located along the beach front, as well as in the town of Bondi Beach itself.
When dining, Bondi Beach offers
plenty of café and restaurant options throughout the day. Campbell Parade is a main strip of shops and restaurants in the town, and visitors will find everything from a quick bite, to sit down dining options. When
in Bondi Beach, and generally throughout most of Australia, tourists will often see "BYO" on the side of a restaurant, or on the restaurant's menu. This means Bring Your Own Alcohol, and generally most
patrons do. Some restaurants charge a very moderate corkage fee, but this is not the norm.
Traveling to Bondi Beach is generally very convenient from any central location in Sydney. Buses travel from Bondi
Junction in Sydney right to Bondi Beach Australia just about every ten minutes, until around midnight. Since parking at the beach itself is quite crowded and difficult, the bus is actually the main mode of transport
for tourists and locals alike. You will experience much less hassle if you leave your car behind. There are also trains running from Bondi Junction to the beach about every ten minutes, so you'll be sure to have a
convenient lift to Bondi.
As an extremely popular beach in Australia, Bondi Beach is a great place to visit if you plan to spend any amount of time in Sydney. Be sure to bring plenty of sun block along as
the sun can be quite intense in all temperatures. Bondi Beach Australia offers a fun, warm way to kick back and enjoy a day at the beach.

Australia Beaches
Australians love and respect for the ocean is strong and has been from the beginning. Our beaches are accessible to everyone.
They are places where families and friends meet; where Shakespeare competes with
the noise of crashing waves; where you can ride a camel at sunset; enjoy a game of cricket; laze in the sun; or cast a rod and fish for tonight’s dinner.
In fact, we have almost 10,700 beaches - in all
shapes, sizes and colours. The more popular are closely watched by surf lifesavers, while others are waiting for you to revel in their remoteness, serenity and beauty.
Largest Island in the World
This is,
after all, the world’s largest island. And with more than 80% of our population living within 50 kms of the coast, here that you will discover what we’re best at: our love for sun and surf, our relaxed way of life,
unique environment and adventures amongst the reefs, islands, wilderness and wildlife.
Feel tropical coral sand, like talc between your toes, or feast your eyes on honey-coloured crescents of gold, tiny pink
inlets, boulder-strewn bays, boardwalks bustling with restaurants, cliff flanked sweeps of wild ocean and long, open beaches that stretch for kilometres. Every beach offers a unique experience.
World Heritage and National Park Beaches
Our beaches aren’t just places to enjoy the water and sun. Many are located right next to the bush, some even in World Heritage Areas and more in our National Parks, so
you can have a bush and beach experience in one. You’ll see native wildlife, birdlife and marine life at these beautiful spots.
Scattered along our coastline are World Heritage gems like Queensland’s Fraser
Island,Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. On the western most point is Shark Bay, while offshore, Lord Howe is surely one of the world’s most beautiful islands.
Australian Beach Journey
You
too can become part of the great Australian beach journey by joining the thousands travelling in their campervans, towing their caravans or hitching their tents along the world’s longest route - Highway One - a
24,000km road that circles the entire continent, ducking and weaving for a large part, along the coastline.
Tasmania
Tasmania may not have beaches in the stereotypical Aussie image - sunbaked and fringed
with perfect surf but our island state has beaches that are wilder and more elemental, with vast pristine and deserted stretches of clean white sand.
Dive our reefs and waterways and you too will discover our hidden treasures of shipwrecks, relics and reefs.
New South Wales Beaches
Savour the pristine white sand beaches of Hymans Beach on the NSW South
Coast, recognised as having the whitest sand in the world by the Guinness Book of Records.
Why not swim with tropical fish while marvelling at the explosion of colour hidden beneath the sea, or enjoy a
once-in-a-lifetime experience and swim with gentle but massive whale sharks or cavort with friendly dolphins.
On the North Coast, you will subtropical beaches backed by lush hinterlands.
Queensland Beaches
Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays also rated as one of the world�s most beautiful. For a Fun in Sun experience located on the Gold Coast, with luxury accommodation, wide sandy beaches
and an active nightlife, try Surfers Paradise.
You can head to sea and cruise our coastline dropping into secluded coves and bays that are accessible only by boat or you can catch a ride with the thousands of
Sydney commuters whose ferry ride each day is on the world’s most beautiful harbour.

Melbourne [south coast] Best Nov - Feb:
One of Australia's more conservative cities, Melbourne is more about urban life than beaches, but 20 minutes by tram still gets you to small but perfectly formed
***St Kilda. Unusually surf free, the pretty beach is protected by a large bay and backed by gardens and a promenade lined with some outstanding yet reasonably priced restaurants. And not too far way is monstrous 90
mile beach if that's too small...

Adelaide [south coast] Best Sept-Nov, Feb-May [Dec-Feb very hot]:
Glenelg: a 20 minute tram ride from Adelaide brings you easily to Glenelg's sandy strip, with plenty of pleasant cafés and activities. In season,
however, it tends to become loud, overcrowded and untidy - unlike Australia's best beaches which specialise in space and tranquility - well, so long as you consider pounding surf to be tranquil.
For a little
stylish yet animated solitude the best option is to take a tour, fly or hire some wheels - 4WD not necessary and drive through countryside to Cape Jervis [1.5 hrs/180kms] and onto a car ferry bound for park packed,
96 mile long ***Kangaroo Island [45m].
This large island - with no public transport - has a small human population that is way outnumbered by animals; kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, penguins, seals, sea lions,
dolphins and even the elusive platypus all reside here, enjoying the expansive national parks, wonderful stretches of white sand and thrashing blue water. The best beaches are Stokes Bay, Antechamber Bay and
Pennington Bay. Surfing is good and swimming is fine but the water is not nearly as warm as that of other coasts. Accommodation and camping sites are abundant.
Perth [SW coast] Best Sept-Nov, March-May:
Nearer to Bali than Sydney, Perth and its environs have a lot to offer. Outside the skyscrapers and 19th century façades tourists will find a land of sand. Inland sand for camel safaris, sand scattered with bizarre
pinnacles and coastal sand for 'sandgropers' - residents of Western Australia.
The city has nineteen beaches, mostly wide and white, with an occasional cove for interest. An easy bus ride takes you, for example,
to calm protected Peppermint Grove or Crawley Beach on the Swan River, while surfers and gourmets will head for Scarborough, and nudists for Swanbourne.
Eight mile Rottnest Island, 30 minutes by ferry from
Perth's Fremantle suburb, is a popular holiday destination, not only due to the rampaging wallabies [quokkas] but also the many great beaches for swimming [e.g. Longreach Bay and Geordie Bay], fishing [e.g. Narrow
Neck and Salmon Bay], surfing [e.g. Strickland Bay], and snorkelling [e.g. Parker Point]. Lovely breezy cliffs at West End have excellent whale and dolphin views.

The most famous of the Western Australia beaches is Cable Beach in Broome. But it certainly isn't the only Western Australian beach worth mentioning.
I wouldn't even say Cable Beach is the best or the most beautiful beach in the area.
Just north of Broome you find some of the world's best beaches, and in the photos below you see the the very best Kimberley
beaches of all.
(If you fancy a fantastic beach paradise getaway in northern WA check out what special deals and prices for accommodation, flights, car rental and packages are currently available for the
Broome area.)
The world doesn't know about our beaches. Yet.
If you want to experience the beaches at Cape Leveque the way they are shown in the pictures below you better hurry. Tourism in the
Kimberley is constantly increasing, roads are being upgraded, word is spreading about the Western Australia beaches. It won't be long before we have to start sharing these beaches with more and more people.
But for the next couple of years you should still be able to see them just as they are shown below: pristine, endless, and all yours...

Now that's a beach! What you see above is the first impression we got when we arrived at Cape Leveque and moved into our beach shelter. The photos weren't taken from some lookout or photo point. They show the view
from the shelter where we stayed.
By the way, beach shelters are not the only accommodation option here. You can take your pick from anything between camping, units, cabins, right up to luxury safari style
"tents" in the hillside...
There's a reason why this resort is continuosly voted the number one WA beach resort in the Broome area. Just read the reviews here. (You'll also find the best prices and
deals.)

Wildlife holidays in Australia

The sheer size of Australia ensures a cocktail of climates and habitats to suit all palates. From the rich rainforests of tropical Queensland to the temperate forests of South-western Australia and
Tasmania's wilderness regions; from the lush forests of the Blue Mountains to the arid deserts of the interior; from the warm tropical waters around the Great Barrier and Ningaloo Reefs to the cold
waters of the Southern Ocean where whales and other marine-life abound, Australia offers a wildlife holiday for all tastes. With its first class cuisine, accommodation and fine wines it also offers a
comfortable and safe environment in which to holiday, and a tempting alternative to a chilly British winter! For those preferring to travel during our summer months, however, the outback (Ayer's Rock and
the Olgas, for example) and the north of
